Study for Vocabulary Quiz

I'm going to have vocabulary test tomorrow. I need to learn those definitions, part of speech and usage for the test. While I want to improve my vocabulary skill, I want to resist studying for vocabulary test. When I was in grade school in Japan, I disliked studying Chinese characters. The process was just practicing with writing on paper as many times as I could. Yeah, it was not fun for me. Now, I feel like studying English vocabularies is almost similar to studying Chinese character. Of course, remembering English vocabularies is much harder for me. I know I need to learn more advanced vocabularies. :) Okay, I should study now.
